Red Hat OpenShift 4, AWS, Windows, and a video

Let’s get meta: This is a blog post about a video about a blog post. Is that kind of like calling someone to tell them you sent them an email? How can you use the Red Hat OpenShift installer (for OpenShift 4) with Windows when the installer only runs on Linux or MacOS? Keep reading to find out.

What’s new?

openshift-install, previously, gave you specific login instructions when finished. Now it simply gives you the password. My video addresses that.

The meter is running on AWS. When you’re finished with your cluster, you can easily wipe out everything with one command: ./openshift-install destroy cluster
